ABSTRACT
Aim To investigate the curative effect and the mechanism of methylcobalamin,gliclazide and combined application of both on diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN)in streptozotocin-induced diabetic(STZ-D)rats.Methods STZ-D rats were administered with drugs orally for 8 weeks after streptozotocin treatment.Morphologies of sciatic nerve were observed with histological method.Nerve growth factor(NGF)contents in plasma or in sciatic nerve tissues were determined by ELISA kit or immunohistochemistry.Results Morphological degeneration in sciatic nerve,decrease of NGF concertration in plasma,as well as in nerve axis cylinder,in diabetic rats was all ameliorated by methylcobalamin and/or gliclazide.However,no significant differences in morphology and NGF contents were found between single drug treated groups and combined application group.Conclusions The observations suggest that methylcobalamin,gliclazide and combined application are effective in treating DPN in STZ-D rats.No significantly enhanced effect is found in combined application group as compared with methylcobalamin or gliclazide group.
